Summary: Lan Wangji tried to look around, but found that he was immobilized. Not panicking, because he was a powerful cultivator who did not need to panic, Lan Wangji attempted to break the immobilization with his golden core.
Only to realize that his core, while intact, was blocked.
He attempted to move his fingers.
Nothing.
No matter what part of himself Lan Wangji attempted to move or wiggle, he received no response from his body.
Still not panicking, really not at all, Lan Wangji tried to parse what he could see in front of him, without moving his eyes.
There was a shelf that appeared to be almost half the size of Koi Tower in front of him, but before he began not panicking about that, he realized that no. The shelf was not a gigantic piece of furniture. It was Lan Wangji who was abnormally sized.
He had, in fact, gone from standing over two bu high, to measuring perhaps a single chi in length.
He was tiny .
…
Lan Wangji began to panic.

In which Lan Wangji is cursed to be marionette puppet and transported to a different universe, where he is picked up by an alluring and kind puppeteer with a mysterious past…
My comments: This was a gift for me ❤️!@therealfailwhale was my author for MDZS RBB @mdzsrbb this year, and look what they produced!!!
This one is a hoot from the very first sentence. It is fluffy and fun, and features a thirsty Lan Wangji who is so. FRUSTRATED. that his teeny size is preventing him from acting on his thoughts. Heh heh heh.
Lan Wangji is just happy he’s no longer wooden, okay; Wei Wuxian is entirely smitten; Jiang Cheng is shouty and confused; Nie Huaisang has secrets; and I am just along for the ride. Two world collide, herein, and the mashup is greater than the sum of its parts. (And. AND! This charming story was written for my art, for the MDZS RBB, and I’m so honored and delighted and happy about that. I want to share it with everyone.)
Excerpt: Wei Wuxian pulled Lan Wangji away from his chest and held him up to look into his tiny face.
“You hear that, you beautiful man? You’re coming home with me!” Wei Wuxian grinned widely, and glanced up at Jiang Cheng. “Didi! Meet my husband!”
“You can’t marry a puppet!” shouted Jiang Cheng, as Lan Wangji felt a desire to hide his face.

Long Night in Longwood

Summary: For three years, Marshal Lan “The Swan” Zhan and Marshal Jiang “JC” Cheng have been scouring the country for Wei Wuxian, who’d done a runner from Chicago after causing a fracas. Could it be they finally found… him???
[Author’s Note: The “Longwood” in this story is intended purely to be a penis joke and is not supposed to resemble any actual place in the US that might be called Longwood. :)]
My comments: Aww, this was delightfully absurd, and I enjoyed every bit of it. Also, the included artwork is fantastic. Also, also: Old Shitface Yao the saloon owner is going to nourish me for a week.
Excerpt: “Well, I’ll say,” JC mumbled, looking askance at the singer and the corpse of the former proprietor of the saloon. “The crowd was getting restless and I came back here to see how you were getting on. And what do I find? A corpse, and the two of you in a prelude to the carnal embrace. What about your undying love for Wei Wuxian, huh?”
“Who’s Wei Wuxian?” The Red Lotus looked momentarily scandalized. “That your girlfriend, sweetie? I should’ve known a handsome cad like you would be taken.”
“It’s not…” Lan Zhan stammered a bit helplessly. “I’m not…”
“What? Taken?” the Red Lotus asked with a sly grin.
“Handsome,” JC cut in, throwing Lan Zhan a rather judgmental look.
“Look, it’s…” Again, Lan Zhan found himself at a loss for words. “It’s all rather complicated. But in any case, you don’t know that name, then?”
“Who, darling?”
“Wei Ying.”
“Who’s that, baby?”
“Wei Wuxian,” JC cut in again.
“Well, which is it, I haven’t got all night,” the singer declared as she turned towards her vanity and fixed the locks of the crimson wig around her sharp cheekbones.
“It’s the same man!” JC replied, growing visibly irritated.
“Oh! It’s a man! Well, why didn’t you say so before, darling? Here I was all getting worked up and jealous.” She looked back over her shoulder and threw a playful wink in Lan Zhan’s direction.

All Exits Look The Same

Summary:Banished from the Lan Sect after Wei Wuxian’s death, an unexpected revelation sets Lan Wangji on a new path.
My comments: Lovely peek into what an exiled lan wangji would do (it’s still waaaay better than the 33 lashes!). He takes a-yuan and wanders for a while, but has a tip that his mother might still be alive, so heads towards the general area she might be found. Meanwhile, he strengthens his bond with his new son and learns a new way to be in the world. Mom, when he finds her, is pretty great.

blue-ribbon bunny

Summary:Shapeshifter Lan Wangji is caught off guard when he turns into a rabbit while doing his weekly errands. Fortunately, he runs into a kind young man who seems very eager to have a pet rabbit. Soon, Lan Wangji finds himself delaying his return to human form and struggling to spend a little more time with his new ‘owner’.
(In which Lan Wangji is Bunji, a strong-willed yet surprisingly affectionate rabbit.)
My comments: Ohmygod. This is the DORKIEST thing. I love it.
Excerpt:“Wangji! You cannot always escape difficult situations by changing your form!”
But he laughs as he says it, so Bunji chooses to ignore his reproach.
Anyway, this tactic has always worked very well. As a child, he often coped with his troubles by reverting to rabbit form. Rabbits could do things that little boys couldn’t, like hide underneath the furniture. Bunji also had the option of creeping into family members’ laps for comfort. He liked that.
Perhaps it wasn’t the most courageous way of resolving problems. But it was highly effective.
It’s effective now, too. Lan Xichen sighs loudly, but he still scratches Bunji’s back.
“Shall we talk about the kind gentleman who found you?” he wonders.
Bunji shakes his head. He cannot talk in this form. It’s the greatest benefit of being a rabbit: conversation is entirely impossible.

You’re Not The Only One
G (maybe a very soft T for making out), 82k, wangxian, marked as incomplete, but it feels wrapped up tight, so ignore that
Summary: Alternate Universe - Jiang Fengmian never adopts Wei Ying.
Lan Zhan meets Wei Ying as a beggar on the street and convinces Lan Qiren to allow him to come live in the Cloud Recesses.
Lan Zhan and Wei Ying grow up together as best friends. Nothing has really changed, but everything is different.
My comments: A soft story wherein the Lans take in homeless wei ying and he and his lan zhan grow up together, tightly entwined. We get glimpses of their earlier childhood, pass through the cloud recesses study arc (look at lan wangji making friends! and being stoically amused by intimidating nie huaisang, who had the audacity to sneak liquor into his cup). There is light angst and pining, before they figure themselves out, but the wen attack and sunshot campaign bring them to a new understanding.
